Starting with the default (non scram-jet) deltaglider with 100% fuel (uncheck unlimited fuel!) at the end of Habana's runway, what is the furthest from the Earth, that can be flown, landing safely at a base? You may need to create or use add-on bases with, for example, Jupiter moons.

i'd say Mars or Jupiter at most..

Sedna. Remember, using a slingshot effect past Jupiter, you can easily get anywhere in the solar system, and with the DGs powerful engines, you can land anywhere. You could land farther out then Sedna, but there hasn't been anything discovered that is out farther right now.

If you have infinite time, you can use the interplanetary superhighway network.
By using this, you should in theory be able to get everywhere closer to Earth than Pluto (too high eccentricity). Of course, if you use the ISN for getting as far away as possible and later do a plane change, you can save fuel.
The question is just: who has the time to simulate such a trip hopping from one WSB to the other.
